    Which side of the fence?

    If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

    If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
    If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

    If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
    If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

    If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
    If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

    If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
    A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

    If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
    Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.

    If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
    A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

    If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it..
    A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

    I just got this in an eMail and want your opinion.

    Obviously, this comes from a republican view from the start, thus no point to argue about. It only causes another worthless and endless debates.

    No debate is bad if done honestly.

    There is no debate to do about false statements.

    I have to agree with Schubee. There's no arguing something that is blatantly one sided and created for the humor factor only :)

    I'm an independent. I vote my conscious and try my best to choose the lesser of two evils.

    I consider myself a conservative independent. I go with a quality of candidates and their policies, not republican or democrat.

    @Umbriel. Read the question, "Which side of the fence do you sit on?" and read the content. The question is asking what you are, black or white, but the content is all for black, not neutral. Do you see any fairness there? I don't. That's why I said there is no need to argue about this when the nature of point is already decided and asking a question from the falsely matched comparisons. I sure do love to debate if you read my q & a. So, please don't just assume and respond. And your final words are actually what I want to say to you.
    Without getting into any political verbal gymnastics, I agree with what you say. My biggest "Bitch" is this smoking thing. I know of people who have no issue with smoking reefer with their kids but become anal when it comes to me smoking my Marlboro's outside in their presence. Democrats no doubt.

    Yes, I'm not a smoker, but second hand smoke can't be that bad.
    They would have outlawed them if it weren't for the tax money generated.

    You got it.
    I guess I would say that I think these problems cross political borders we would all vote for things that would make everyone "like us"

    EXAMPLE--
    If you don't smoke you would vote for laws to outlaw cigarettes not worrying about the smokers rights.

    So we're quick to vote away others rights if it don't hurt us, me included, and I believe it's time to think what we want and what we really need and let's not step on others rights.
    Independent, but most of my choices are (R).

    That's about the way I go too.

    I wonder if it's an Ohio, Pennsylvania thing?
    I consider myself an Independent, but from this question I would have to say I'm a Republican...

    Good question by the way, thumbs up.

    That email ended up at my address, also.  It definitely is a sterotype, but the answer to "which side of the fence?" should be answered


    whichever side has the greener grass!


    Shouldn't it?


    (As far as the debate, it's a great way to get your brain going and a challenge to present yourself succinctly and coherently. The problem with the comparison of Dems and Reps really is one-sided and tongue-in-cheek.  If someone wants to be offended by it, it indicates (to me) the person might be defensive.  Personally, I think parts of both sides of THAT fence carry truth and humor.

    Nice thing to say, but I believe it's accurate.......
    I was sure I would get some feedback on this?

    Thats why there is a third party coming LOL

    Well I too consider myself an independent. I am not a fence stradler. Everyone should know what happens if you straddle fences.

    Especially a barbed wire one.
    id say republican but my wallet tells me otherwise

    Don't be a fence straddler, make a choice.

    I dont think you can lump all (R) or (D) in the same catagory. There a plenty of Fanatics on both side... I am an Independant but find myself voting (R) on most of the nation elections. GREAT POST!
    ...are you on? sorry could not help myself...the thought had to pop into my mind when reading the highlights of your question! (:

    The analegy is actually pretty accurate with the conservative points of views. If we were to actually read into most of that email you received from this, we could probably add different points to each example. Like the gun thing and democrats not liking them. It isn't really accurate. I have democrats for friends and they are gun buffs. I'm a Constitutional Conservative and sometimes rant a little to much.Liberals tend to look at matters in a hypethetical situation and advance issues to a different level, as conservatism is pretty much stable in thought of what matters with religion and morality combined. That's what separates the parties in government. I hate to admit it .. but conservatives are fearful of change. I feel we do need to hang on to our Constitution!

    Headless Man

    I agree...
